Check the sticker in your window to verify that you don’t need an oil change.

Consider having your battery tested, especially in winter.

Check your air filter. Often you can simply bang debris out by hitting it on the palm of your hand. Then check how dark a gray it is. Remember it was bright white when installed and it’s cheap to replace.

Have someone stand behind your car and verify that your brake and tail lights are working.

Inspect your windshield wiper blades for cracks or tares.

Make sure there aren’t any safety recalls on your vehicle

Finally, locate your spare tire and make sure it’s inflated and that the jack works.
